The Pillar Axiom
The Pillar Axiom has created quite a stir in the storage industry. It’s the most efficient system you can buy, using the least power per GB of storage than any other in the industry. It also has the highest utilization rates, with rates that are twice the industry average. And now, the Pillar Axiom is the first storage system in the industry that is truly application-aware without requiring extra plug-ins or add-ons, allowing the system to be provisioned just like data centers provision their virtualised servers.

Driving down your storage costs
Even with this added functionality, the Pillar Axiom 600 application-aware storage system drives down acquisition and operating costs by allowing you to:

• Buy less storage. If you could use 40 to 80% more of your storage system, then that’s fewer systems that you have to buy. And when you need more storage—you can scale the Axiom to over 800TB of raw capacity.

• Provision your storage like you provision your servers. No more complex forecasting. No more array read/write cache rebalancing to match changes in application workload.

• Rely on dynamic provisioning of resources. Consolidate your storage on the Axiom with dynamic provisioning based on application needs, then storage silos are a thing of the past.

• Dump the dinosaurs and consolidate. How many old-style storage systems are using up power, space, and management resources in your data center? With utilization rates as high as 80%, you can consolidate your existing storage on an Axiom and still handle multiple disk types and protocols.
